Who's got 'em or used to have one?

I just bought a 1979 Yamaha XS 1100...and I'm going to murder it LOL. New Forks, New Seat, possibly a harley-style gas tank. Helllooooooooooooo Chopper!

Anyone?

I don't have a bike yet but I rode my friends Ducati Monster S4R the other day and am trying to convince him to sell it to me

He NEVER rides its so it just sits down in the underground parking of our building. For now hes saying no but I think he will come around. He paid $30K two years ago and I figure $20K is fair

But I also have to actually get my Canadian bike license still...I think it takes a month? He said a month but he got his years ago...

$20K! I bought my bike for $400

I figure once my brother and I make it beautiful there should be another $1500 so I'l lhave a rad chopped bike for about 2 grand, which isn't bad at all.

I'm not sure about BC, I know in Alberta there's a course you can take (they even rent you the bikes for crying out loud) and they teach you pretty much everything, even how to lay down a bike should you need to. Then you get a discount on your license.

The last bike I had (2007 Katana 750) I bent the frame on...so I'm excited to get this beast. And when I say beast I mean it...this thing has 4 pipes running from the engine, 1100 cc...big bike for someone like me (5'7")

WOO HOO another chick that rides bikes... I don't know enough of them. I have a 2000 Roulette green Triumph speed triple. It's the bike from the Mission Impossible II movie. Actually it's on my Facebook profile picture right now.

It's for sale now since I never have a chance to ride it.

Yeah Diana, I saw the pic in your profile. You're selling Frank's too? Or who's is the red bike?

I don't mind rockets, don't get me wrong, they are a hot bike...but this one is going to be rad...

This is pretty much identical to how the bike looks now (not the exact bike, but same colouring, model etc):

Yes the ZX10R is also for sale... I am sick of him getting mass tickets or running away from the sheriffs when they clock him doing a million. I never considered my bike a crotch rocket since Frank can blow past me like I am standing still. I wanted something different then anybody else's so I opted for my S3. I love my bike but hate riding in the wind, cold or not so perfect weather conditions... therefore I never ride it.

I like your bike and it will look sweet when it is done...can you do a concept drawing... I know you can.

Frank's bike is all carbon fiber farings, aftermarket everything, NOS, and has custom ghost skulls in the paint. He hates riding it since when we go out for a couple of hours it's a back breaker, mine is not so comfy either. I want something better the next time around as I am 6' tall and all my height is in my legs. They get really crampy on my Triumph too.

'00 GSXR 750, ex-track bike, completely redone plastics with custom paint and the motoGP replica graphics.....All done by me one weekend....Been a good bike for the last 4 years!

The weather is improving the snow is melting, and I got the itch to ride. Went to Andres in Calgary yesterday and ordered more chrome for my baby.

Majorly modified 2006 Yamaha Roadstar. Not much original on it.

Sorry no pics yet, I never had time, but hoepfully soon, once I polish it up for you all. My wife always gives me heck as I never took a before and after pic.
